I am still interested in joining as well. If you needs are arcane or divine, I can swing either way with the character concept I have in mind. It has come up
before and I am likewise interested in Beguiler if that will work, otherwise I could just as easily make a sorcerer of some flavor.

So far we have a rogue and an aquatic elf that seems to be doing one level of fighter, then going cleric (though this might be revised). We could certainly use
arcane support and/or a sturdy fighter type.

I'm looking to kick start some interest in this proposed on-line campaign. Kenmckinney tried to drum up some interest this past spring when there were
several on-line games being hosted and run from this forum. Ken graciously has offered to run the game and Damien the Bloodfeaster and I are anxious to play
in it. In the early going we had decided on Savage Tide, but I suspect we would all be open to reconsidering if there was more interest in Age of Worms. Ken
has been successfully running Savage Tide for a group in South America that recently reached 13th level. That ought to say something about his commitment to
the game.

There has been a few games hosted on this forum that have come to a close for one reason or another. If you would like to get back into a game, let Ken know.

Thegrandoracle's Tegel campaign...

Deepcut's Rappan Athuk Reloaded campaign...

SgtHulka's Wilderlands: Lost in Lenap campaign...

I'm looking at you guys. There are some fun players on
this forum. I hope you're interested.

I'd love to play in a game with TheRavyn. Last time we discussed scheduling, Ken and Damien did not want to play on the weekend, and all three of us are
engaged in Damien's Red Hand of Doom game on Monday nights. Things may have changed since then. It will of course be up to Ken to decide. We play from 8:30
PM to approximately 11:00 PM (central time) on Monday's and as I recall we were looking at a similar time slot. Ken is travelling through out South America
so has a time differential to consider. Fortunately he seems to be able to get on-line at Internet cafes at late hours. I am flexible about day and time.

Damien expressed the same sentiment as you, so I know he is anxious to be a player.

We started Damien's RHoD game in OpenRPG, but have switched to RPTools (a much more robust piece of software). Both are free ware. I'm uncertain which
platform Ken will use. Once he decides, I will be glad to post links to the software and other useful related sites. Ken also started a Yahoo Group for the
game (which requires an invite).

RPTools is fairly straightforward, especially as a player. As a DM it is fairly robust, with a lot of options available (map building, line of sight, fog,
etc.). Line of sight has caused me a few problems in the past, but the rest seems to work okay. The text interface is fine too, and you can type in formulae
for whatever kind of dice rolls you want. You can also create your own macros, and tie them to your character's icon, so you can right click on it, then go
to the macros list and run it. Makes rolling initiative, doing attacks, etc. easier. You can build in variables to the formulas as well, to insert modifiers on
the fly (e.g., for power attacking).

Moving your icon around is real easy, so as a player, there should be no issues there.

RPTools does not support voice chat, though you could easily use another program like Skype or VOIP to do verbal discussions while using RPTools primarily for
mapping and rolls, should the DM desire.

There are some excellent tutorials at their website to introduce you to using the software, and you should only need to go through one or two to quickly get up
to speed as a player.

A couple notes: it is important that everyone runs the same version of RPTools. Also, you may need to set your router to allow the software to communicate in
and out directly, or it might prevent a connection. (Not sure how much that was was an issue for the players; as a DM, it certainly was something I had to deal
with though, through another tutorial.)

All you need is MapTools. The other stuff I've never used. I have used Token Tool to create tokens, but you can do it just as easily with photo editors and
the like--any jpeg, png file, etc. will do the trick.
